During our second City Walk, we explored the medieval history of Nijmegen together. This time, the focus was on power, faith and city walls. Guided by Adnan, the participants walked past places that still tell the story of how the city was shaped, protected and governed centuries ago. After a shared lunch at JongerenLab, the group headed towards Kronenburgerpark. At the Kronenburgertoren, we reflected on Nijmegen’s medieval defences and the way the city expanded over the cent

On Friday 5 June, the first clay modelling workshop took place as part of Kunst doet Verbinden, our creative project at Hobbycentrum Nijmegen. Participants came together to explore clay, shape their own ideas and experience how art can create space for meeting, learning and connection. For many participants, it was their first time working with clay. That made the workshop especially valuable. There was room to experiment, ask questions, make mistakes and slowly create someth

With Kunst doet Verbinden (Art Connects), Bildung Nijmegen creates accessible creative workshops where art, meeting others and personal expression come together. You do not need any experience with art or pottery. The workshops are mainly about creating something together, trying something new and discovering what can happen when you work with your hands. The first workshop series focuses on pottery. On Friday 5 June, participants will work with clay and create their own piec

From 13 to 19 April 2026, Mina and Claudia took part in Vibrant Minds on behalf of Bildung Nijmegen, an international Erasmus+ seminar in Rijeka, Croatia. For one week, youth workers, volunteers and people from different civil society organisations came together around one central question: how can we use art to give young people more space for expression, encounter and connection? For us, this is not an abstract question. At Bildung Nijmegen, we see again and again that art
